    A photo I was sent by a fella who bought a Coleman lantern and stove from me, and who wants to buy all of my more common and/or duplicate Coleman lanterns. Looks like a Akron Instant Glo Model 132AG or 132G from the photo he sent; a friend has suggested it’s maybe a 131...

    Any options here?

    132AG is Green fount and vent. 132G is Plated fount and green vent. 131 is Plated fount and plated vent. All the same basic lantern with just different finishes. This does look like 131G. ::Neil::

    That’s a nice looking lantern. An Akron with a plated vent would be an interesting piece to have.
    Cheers

    Thank you all

    I’d need a “globe” for it,,, isinglass I’m guessing, but if I can trade on it, and get it cheap, it’ll make a cool display piece,,, which it would in any case...
